The project, which is being done in five phases, is expected to be completed in three years, with some residents already living in the development.
The details
When it is completed, it will consist of 1,000 single family homes in Argyle ISD and a 4-acre amenity site with a social building, fitness center and pool. The social building includes a catering kitchen, game room and social lounge. About 350 lots are still awaiting construction.
On average, the homes at The Ridge at Northlake are selling for around $750,000. Home sizes range between 1,600 and 4,500 square feet. A fitness building and park will also be included on site.
The project sits about 12 miles from the Shops at Highland Village and the nearly 10,000-acre Alliance Business Park.
What they’re saying
Tom Cawthon, Dallas division president of homebuilder Taylor Morrison, which is constructing houses in the development, said one reason the project is being done in Northlake is its inclusion in Argyle ISD.
“As a homebuilding company, it’s important for us to build where people want to be,” Cawthon said. “The opportunity to build an upscale community in Northlake, in Argyle ISD, was a great value proposition.”
Homes in the development are also being built by Coventry Homes and David Weekley Homes.
As the project and others like it continue to be built in Northlake, Cawthon said he suspects even more services and amenities will come to the town. According to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing, construction on more parking, a pavilion, the pool, trails and pickleball courts began Jan. 15 and will be completed in May.
What else?
The development will also have impacts to traffic in the area. Once the project is finished, it will complete Cleveland Gibbs Road, connecting it from Robson Ranch, down FM 407, crossing I-35W down to FM 1171, Drew Corn, Northlake town manager, said.
“It’ll create a nice north-south corridor to help traffic,” Corn said.
